Welcome to the Webpatterns Wiki
Did you know that the first wiki was invented by Ward Cuningham to document a pattern language, the "Portland Pattern Repository"?
What's it about?
WebPatterns is a place to discuss, document and collaborate on patterns for web design and development. The primary focus of the webpatterns project is to intelligently name the main constructs or components that web designers, developers, Information Architects and other web professionals use to build web pages, web sites and web applications.
This wiki is for collaboratively documenting these patterns, which will hopfully develop colaboratively into a "pattern langage" that is tentatively named "webpatterns".
For more on what patterns are, and the webpatterns project more generally, see the main page for the site.
New to using Wikis?
The trickiest bit is creating a new page. To do so, edit any page, adding a link to the page you want to edit, then saving the changes. Follow the lind and the page will be created. For more on editing wikis, see this tutorial, or the MediaWiki user's guide.
